I am starting a little late since Connor is almost 3 months old now, but I still think I will start from the beginning. Chris and I were scheduled for me to be induced on 9/23. I had been going to so many appointments and dealing with IUGR(Intrauterine Growth Restiction) which means Connor's growth was very far behind. At that point he was about a month behind. His heart rate started to vary as soon as they started to induce me so we decided to be on the safe side and go for a c-section. At 4:31 pm later that day Connor Lee Gudgeon was here! I only saw him for a minute because he went straight to the NICU, with Daddy of course. Connor was in the NICU for the next week being poked and prodded to find a healthy baby boy with absolutely no reason to be so small! There was an abnormality with the placenta that was discovered during the c-section but who knows if that caused the IUGR. Connor had such wonderful care in the NICU. The nurses were so caring and informative to Chris and I. After I was released Chris and I spent our days in the NICU with Connor. We would feed him and gave him a bath. He was moved to the continuing care nursery the morning he came home. On 9/30 Connor was released after accomlishing his goals. He was back up to his birth weight, eating at least 30 mL, and maintaining his body temp...All ready to go home. It was so nice to bring him home! Finally!
